Скачать или смотреть Umanji: A Golden Voice Silenced by Greed

Umanji was a South African acoustic guitarist with a voice so distinctive, you'd recognize it instantly. Born in 1968 in Zebediela, Limpopo, he burned down 3 huts just to learn guitar from old man Marole Digale. His mother burned his guitar and forced him into the police force for 8 years.

But Umanji's golden voice couldn't be silenced. After winning a Coca-Cola competition in Johannesburg, he signed with BMG and released his debut album "Moloi" in 1999. Critics loved it. He earned a SAMA nomination for Best New Comer.
